National Challenges and Goals for Cybersecurity

The 2016 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan
creates the science and technology to ensure America’s prosperity, national
security in cyberspace.

The President has made it clear that cybersecurity is one of the most
important challenges we face as a Nation. Advances in cybersecurity science
and engineering are urgently needed to preserve the Internet’s social and
economic benefits.

Software defects, which are currently common, also give rise to many
vulnerabilities. Science and technology advances are needed for the
design and implementation of software, firmware, and hardware that are
highly resistant to malicious cyber activities. And because system breaches
are often due to innocent actions by well-intentioned users, we also need to
develop effective, measurable technical and non-technical security controls
that consider human behavior and economic incentives in cyberspace.

As we accelerate the important work of making computing and the Internet
inherently more secure through implementation of the plan, it will be
critical to re-examine, refine, and extend the plan over time. Today,
the President also established the
Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity to provide
recommendations on actions that can be taken over the next decade to
strengthen cybersecurity, including further investments in research and
development initiatives. While their work is just beginning, the Federal
Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan will provide the
Commission a valuable reference point as they consider the challenges and
opportunities in cybersecurity R&D.
